Windsurfing Harness - Types of Harnesses

Types of Harnesses

There are four basic types of harnesses:

  • The waist harness: Worn around the waist and lower back, providing back support.
  • Crossover Harness (e.g. Dakine XT) Fits around the backside but has padding and support for the back as well.
  • The seat (or slalom) harness: Fits around the backside, with straps that pass between the legs.
  • The chest harness: Fits over the chest like a vest, providing buoyancy and padding for protection.

Famous quotes containing the words types of and/or types:

    Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.
    Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
